Volunteers wanted: Hira's yard after the storm

Garden rescue day in Rawalpindi: bring gloves and a rake.

Rawalpindi
I'm 83 and I have lived in this house in Rawalpindi for 37 years. After the storm in August, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of poor eyesight. The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thanks for being kind about this.
